Recently, Nengtan (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nengtan (Zhejiang) Technology Co., Ltd., settled in Dongjiang, becoming the first virtual power plant business platform in Dongjiang.
In the future, it will mainly carry out virtual power plant software development, power grid transaction settlement, power market transactions, and power plant peak-shaving response business, providing market players such as cold storage and energy storage in the Eastern Xinjiang region with a way to participate in power market transactions, and responding to power grid peak-shaving and valley-filling needs to conduct virtual power plant transactions.
Energy Carbon Technology is an energy technology company that focuses on promoting the transformation of distributed resources to intelligence and cleanliness, aiming to lead the friendly interaction and harmonious development of distributed resources and power grids.
Relying on the virtual power plant science and technology laboratory centered on the Ph. Heating, energy storage, cold storage and other business types have become the first echelon virtual power plant operators of domestic private enterprises.
At the end of 2021, the Central Deep Reform Commission passed the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a National Unified Electricity Market System", and the reform of the electricity market will be accelerated again. In the future, industrial and commercial electricity will fully enter market transactions, and the commodity attribute of electricity will be further restored. As the main body of the market, the virtual power plant completes the commercial closed loop by participating in market transactions and obtains benefits, thereby solving the problem of incentives. In the future, all walks of life will face more complex energy consumption strategies, and even need to formulate production and operation plans according to the electricity market conditions, and the role of virtual power plants will become more important.
In the next step, Dongjiang will comprehensively build a modern energy system, promote the high-quality development of energy in the new era, and vigorously support the construction of virtual power plants in combination with the new scene of investment in the "dual carbon" field. Help the smart upgrade of the power grid, explore a new generation of control technology and interactive business model that aggregates and optimizes the clean development of "source, network, load and storage", and create a new type of multi-energy complementarity on the "source" side, flexible interaction on the "load" side, and flexible adjustment on the "storage" side "Adjustment center".
What is a virtual power plant?
The virtual power plant is an auxiliary expert in the urban power system, which conducts power dispatching through advanced smart grid technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing. Aggregate power consumers, energy storage parties, and distributed power sources to act as a communication hub, allowing the three parties to become harmonious online neighbors, realizing flexible adjustment and combination of power, and balancing the relationship between power supply and demand.
In layman's terms, when the power generation does not match the power load, the virtual power plant can distribute power to the places where it is needed by allocating power demand, so that the places that need power can use power in time.
For example, on summer nights, when the electricity demand for air-conditioning in residential areas increases and the demand for electric vehicle charging decreases, the virtual power plant will dispatch the idle electricity in the charging piles to the residents through subsidies and other means, and when the electricity supply exceeds the demand , the virtual power plant will contact the power consumption end for use or energy storage end for storage, such as guiding car owners to charge through big data push to avoid waste of electricity.
